Chapter 22: The Hunt

On February 20, 3137, the breakout battle was ready. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A large number of non-combat ships chose to stay away from the battlefield. They hibernate most of their crew, relying on only a handful of people and automated systems, leaving the unarmed fleet floating in the desert of the universe, waiting for rescue to arrive.

The fleet lined up in battle formation, concentrated 15 space warships, 132 space fighters, and launched a frontal attack on the enemy in front of it.

"This is an insult to our squadron, and I demand that the mission be revoked."

Just listening to the voice, you can understand how angry the young man is, and Liao Fan seems to see him waving his arms in the cockpit fluid.

"Nice task, easy, isn't it?"

"I joined the Space Army to fight, and you should be ashamed of your words."

"Why? Should I be ashamed just because I don't agree with you? ”

"You're running away from the fight, isn't it a shame or anything!"

"So, generals, staff officers, logistics soldiers, and controllers are all disgraced in your opinion?"

“。。。 No... They are not the same ... ”

"How is it different? The same important work, the same without having to be involved in the actual battle, why am I a disgrace and others are not... ”

"This... I can't talk about you, it's different anyway. ”

Liao Fan snorted lightly. The tone was full of teasing.

No more objections were raised, and the Apple squadron accepted its first mission since its establishment.

The private message loop indicator flashed, and Liao Fan turned on the loop without surprise.

Liao Fan: "I knew you would contact me." Why, like those recruit eggs, they are also hot-blooded and don't like escort missions? ”

Edlaide: "Don't be a recruit all the time, you weren't a recruit a few days ago. ”

Liao Fan: "Ahem... Let's get down to business. ”

Edlaide: "Seriously, why did you accept this mission, but don't tell me that the escort mission is important, I don't believe it." ”

Liao Fan: "Tsk... I hate you talents the most, so I can't pretend I don't know? ”

Edryde: "Don't say I didn't warn you, there's another veteran who is also indignant!" ”

The system reminds that there is a private message application from Natalie. Frequent flashing signals signaled her anxious mood.

Liao Fan simply merged the two road numbers into one road.

Natalie: "You dead fox, you are not ashamed to speak, you are actually trying to be lazy!" ", glutinous, with an angry humming drag. It's very strange, and Liao Fan's words of reproach are also pleasing to the ear.

Natalie: "Why don't you speak, dumb!" I said yes! Shame on you! ”

Edlaide: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I don't think he's ashamed, he should just be distracted." ”

"Ahh After screaming in panic, the girl stopped talking. Liao Fan guessed that Edlaide's sudden addition scared her.

"Don't say anything, the reason why I accepted this assignment is because...

。。。。。。

Under the escort of the Apple squadron, there are 8 special fighters, including 4 Roaring electronic warfare aircraft, 1 Hawkeye command aircraft and 3 Shadow electronic reconnaissance aircraft. This force represents a third of the special tactical forces on the Wanderer. According to the basic tactical outline of the space carrier, the battle of carrier-based aircraft mainly revolves around these special tactical forces.

"When fighting, follow the command, I won't open up just because I'm a friend!" , Avina's tone, no matter how you hear it, is the big sister coaxing the younger brothers and sisters. She understood that the tone didn't sound like a battlefield order, but she had no intention of correcting it. In her opinion, deploying fighters to fight is similar to commanding children.

While her friends were working hard to get a wasp driver's license, she wasn't idle. Her personality made her more willing to participate in combat herself, so she participated in the training of command aircraft controllers.

After a short tutorial, she was able to command the wartime control of the aircraft and became a member of the Hawkeye 4.

Groups of warplanes are scattered on the outskirts of the group. In less than an hour, the combat forces were already in full swing.

Avina is responsible for directing the outermost scout group of the ship group, as well as the initial analysis and processing of intelligence. The first time she participated in the battle, she kept cheering herself up in her heart, and on the surface, she had to be calm and relaxed, which was very hard.

"Relax, don't get too nervous."

The Hawkeye command aircraft is piloted in tandem. Tian Lei, who is responsible for controlling the fighter, is a senior pilot, and his skills and tactics are not outstanding, but he is a solid person and has a calm personality.

"Where... Anyway, I'm very calm. ”

"You should find a position that makes you more comfortable. In the cockpit, there is a helmet to cover it, so there is no need to tense your body. ”

Avina was frustrated to find that she was really as Tian Lei said, with a hard body. She sighed softly and chose a more comfortable position.

。。。。。。

On the side of the fleet, a huge fireball formed a second sun in the shipping path between the Earth and the Moon.

In the silent space, energy turbulence churned the ship, making them look like boats in raging waves.

Kim Jong-tae chuckled psychologically, and his first reaction was that his actions were exposed. When he was not superior in all aspects, he lost the suddenness of the battle, and his face couldn't help but turn blue.

The staff officers were nervously analyzing the available information. On the bridge wide-area monitor, the various possible causes of the explosion are sorted in order of importance.

"Chief of Staff, don't be nervous. Don't want a chicken wing? ”

Facing Zhang Zhen, who was still calm and relaxed at this time, he was not angry.

"Humph! You have the demeanor of a general. ”

"At the beginning of the war, our stealth bombers achieved results. And what is there to be anxious about? ”

"What did you say?" , the mean look was replaced by the unbelievable. Kim Jong-tae stared at the chief in a daze, speechless.

"What's so strange. The explosion was definitely caused by the stealth ship. Since there is no report of the sinking of our S6 ship, it is the Imperials who are unlucky. ”

Disbelieving, he turned his gaze to the monitor. Sure enough, in the judgment of the causes, the factor of stealth bombers was listed in front.

"How do you know...

He swallowed back halfway through his words. He thought of the round guy in front of him, who had rich experience in actual combat and was a rare powerful figure in the Space Army. Immediately, he was annoyed by his gaffe. Always confused by the round surface, unconsciously look down on each other. Every time he is teased by him, he can't help but cast a jealous look at the pretentious chief.

Zhang Zhen's expression was as usual, and he nibbled on the chicken leg wrapped in oiled paper regardless of his image. On the bridge, as long as the busy officers and soldiers saw the appearance of the commander, their expressions became a little less nervous.

"Major Azure reported that our ship sank the enemy's Flying Snake-class stealth ship at about 13:05 on February 20."

The movement of the crowd on the bridge was at first paused, and after the deliberately suppressed cheers, the movement of the people became brisk.

Zhang Zhen shook the remaining half of the chicken leg in his hand to Kim Jong-tae defiantly, as if to say, look, there is nothing to be nervous about.

。。。。。。

In the communication loop, the sound of questions and answers came and went, and the haze in my heart was swept away. After carefully experiencing the change in mentality, Liao Fan had to admit that the so-called morale was really exciting.

The battle began in a railgun salvo from both groups.

For the sake of escorting special warfare aircraft, the Apple squadron is located on the edge of the battlefield. Far away, on the cosmic battlefield, the dotted balls of light were constantly flickering and flickering, which was caused by the explosions generated during the firefight.

The order to move the special fleet forward was given.

Liao Fan divided the squadron into three two-plane formations, and he and Xiucai each led a wingman to escort the command plane and the reconnaissance plane to carry out the tasks separately. Natalie stayed on the second line with the other one to guard the Growler electronic countermeasures.

The Hawkeye command plane, where Avina is located, needs to patrol the battle situation in the area in charge, gather intelligence, and effectively distribute combat power at the same time. Liao Fan let the reliable Xiucai team take care of her safety, and he assisted the shadow reconnaissance plane to complete the front-line reconnaissance work.

Escort fighters do not need to go deep into enemy lines together. They are mainly responsible for answering. Once the Shadow Fighter with stealth ability is pursued by the enemy, what Liao Fan has to do is to help them get out of danger.

Reconnaissance planes hovered over the edge of the battlefield, and they used their stealth capabilities to quickly find a gap and plunge headlong into the enemy position. On the detector, the fighters disappeared without a trace.

The escort mission is more boring than expected. No enemy planes collided, and his colleague planes were just on standby at the edge of the theater of operations. If I had known this, I might as well have gone to guard the command plane.

Emergency contact, the reconnaissance plane asked to answer.

Against the huge background of the moon, two small gray dots fled in the direction of the main formation. Only two of the three reconnaissance planes came back, and it is estimated that there is still one more that is more than lucky.

The three bright spots clinged to the shadow, and the system prompted that it was an enemy aircraft.

Liao Fan's colleague was hiding behind a large chunk of cosmic junk. They sped up with all their might, suddenly plunging between the shadows and the violet lightning.

The bright yellow line of fire brushed by his side, and in the corner of Liao Fan's eyes, the wingman turned into a bright fireball.

The battle in the universe, without sound, everything is so unreal. The young man who had contradicted him before, from the moment of life to death, could not even let out a scream.

Experience made Liao Fan continue to rush, he fine-tuned the attitude of the fighter, and it was another round of precision strikes from the railgun.

The scarlet decoy ejected, and a bead-like chain of light wrapped around a projectile, and the explosion exploded in a flash.

After a series of actions, Liao Fan was stunned because he didn't have time to feel the tension, and he didn't even feel the anger brought by the sacrifice of his comrades.

Behind it, a shadow plunges into the dark abyss, and the scattered flames represent its end.

I was anxious in my heart, but I couldn't get up in my spirit. To put it simply, he didn't get into the groove.

Screams were heard from the communication circuit. The last Shadow disintegrates and turns into cosmic garbage.

His mind went blank, and he couldn't think of fighting back. He flew away from the battlefield without looking back.

The enemy aircraft did not pursue and flew towards the core of the battlefield.

Liao Fan sent an emergency call to tell his companions to be careful of the enemy's ace hunting.

There was a bitterness in my heart. In the first battle of becoming a squadron leader, he lost his wingman and buried the target of protection. He was the only one intact.

As the young man said, he was a disgrace, and he killed them.

Guilt, anger, and anxiety drove him crazy.

"Save your mind! You don't fit here. Let's get out of the fight, only if you survive, you are already lucky. ”

"You're not a coward, you're just tired. Take a deep breath and reflexively give the enemy plane a hard blow in the back... ”

"You're a deserter, why are everyone else dead, only you alive?"

"It was a last resort just now, and now it's time to see the real chapter, cheer up."

The two opinions in his head made his brain ache. I simply started autopilot, and I didn't want to care about anything.

"Liao Fan! We're going to be overwhelmed here. ”

Natalie's plea for help, the glutinous voice seemed to be in her ears.

The image of a tall girl becomes a petite and lovely girl. The surroundings changed from the universe to the ruins of the Grand Theater, and she reached out to him with a face full of grievances, as if asking for help, as if to say goodbye.

"Jasmine!"

Suddenly came to his senses, and the decadent aura disappeared. The blood in the body is rapidly flowing back, and the visual field is becoming red, not because of too much overload, but because of agitation.

"She's in danger! It is necessary to go to the rescue. He-mother-who dares to touch her... ”

He was so angry that he was even surprised. The maneuvering of the fighter became rough.

Ignoring the enemy planes and friendly troops he encountered along the way, he rushed forward with ferocity, scaring everyone.

Maniac, rampage on the battlefield!

。。。。。。

The Apple squadron is in trouble. The three purple lightning planes successfully touched the location of the command plane and launched a hunt.

Two fully formed squadrons, plus 4 Apple squadrons, a total of 16 space fighters, joined the operation to encircle and suppress the enemy's ace.

The enemy did not turn around and fled. What seems like a stupid way to deal with it turned out to be the choice of the strong.

These are three ace purple lights.

The enemy deftly weaves through the net of fire, leaving behind a series of fireballs. This cannot be called a battle, it is a one-sided massacre.

16 Wasps could not stop the enemy from approaching the command aircraft.

Xiucai desperately blocked the enemy's infiltration, and the wingman shattered in the direct hit of the railgun. With his excellent skills, he still couldn't escape the killing move of Zidian Yin Poison. The dogfight missile exploded in the tail of the plane, and Xiucai, along with his wasp, slid along the swinging axis toward the nadir.

Natalie's twin-plane formation arrived one step late. There was no obstacle between the Hawkeye No. 4 aircraft and the enemy plane. With tears in her eyes, Avina clutched the pendant on her chest. It was a gift from Edlaide.

Tian Lei is still making a final effort. Non-martial arts professional models, in the face of menacing enemy trump cards, can really be of much use, can only be said to do their best to obey the destiny of heaven.

。。。。。。

Scarlet ballistics, the 75mm railgun sliced through the void in vain. Zidian calmly dodged the attack from behind. The same is true of the combat missiles that followed, which flew over their heads before they began to detonate.

Faced with the bright white fireball, the ace on the purple lightning began to suspect that the opponent had a problem with his brain. Only a fool would crash headlong into the blast range of a missile!

He flicked the joystick slightly, and the diamond-shaped fighter made a dodge along the curved envelope.

Out of the corner of his eye, a dark shadow flashed.

"Oops, careless!"

It was his last thought, and then everything went into nothingness.

A Wasp, with a shuttle-shaped fuselage extension, was inserted into Zidian's cockpit like a blade, and the cockpit liquid mixed with Yin Hong's blood sprayed out of Zidian's neck.

。。。。。。

Both fighters exploded into fireballs at the same time.

Natalie forgot her fears and wanted to cry out, but couldn't. She watched as Liao Fan's wasp collided with the enemy plane, scattering fragments flying out in all directions. Tears flowed out imperceptibly and escaped into the cockpit fluid.

The remaining two Purple Lightning gave up the attack and began to maneuver to avoid the scattered debris. This brought life to Tian Lei. He overloaded the engines and passed through the enemy aircraft ship.

A black shadow passed by the fleeing command plane. With the help of the shadow of the command aircraft, it avoided the eyes and ears of the enemy.

The two sides staggered. In the white light of the texture, the ace purple electric exploded into countless fragments, and the other one turned around and left the battlefield.

In a panic, it didn't notice that a nearby shuttle dart fighter had touched it. Soon in the direction of the nadir, bright white blocks of light flashed again.

"Sure enough, it's the Scythe of Death, and it deserves its name!" , In the communication circuit, Jack's voice of admiration was heard. His landline was in the direction of the nadir and gave the final blow to the escaped purple lightning.

"That's an unlucky title. So many young people are ahead of me. Falken's voice sounded very gloomy.
